Best Car Paint Sealants Review | Meguiars M27 vs Chemical Guys Jet Seal vs Jescar Ultra Lock+ 

Instead of making new product every week Chemical guys should rather improve their quality.

Thank you so much for featuring Ultra Lock+ in your comparison and the great video!

Honestly Sandro, amongst all the car detailing channels on RU-vid, I find that you provide the best balance of information and editing! You really give your honest opinion and show us the results with your camera skills. Keep up the good work sir!

Its the honesty and demonstration of the products he shows from application to torture test that definitely makes Sandro hella trust worthy to someone who knows pretty close to nothing of detailing products such as myself. That and the detail videos are just top notch. Keeps it up sir.

I have both the M27 and UL+ and prefer the UL+. M27's disappearing technology makes it a nightmare to use on light colored paint as I sometimes forget where I've applied. While UL+ is more "traditional" that it leaves a haze. But it also feels amazingly slick and wipes off super easy.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. Incredible content quality. SUBBED!

Always keen to see a carcraft test video!!

I’ve been using UL+ on every wash and wax I’ve done for the past year. (180+). It’s got 100% customer satisfaction, I’ve even had 2 different customers text me 4 months after the service exclaiming how happy they are the wax is still working. (While they inform me after pulling the car out of the spinning brush auto car wash 🙄 lol) Edit: I’ve had two coats of it on my civic, I only wash it every 3 weeks and it’s been there since June of last year 🤘

Excellent review and information, as always, Sandro! Thank you! I'll be sticking with my trusted Megs Hybrid Ceramic Spray, which has been great for me (and my car). Thanks again man! Take care

Interesting video mate keep up the great work !

Thanks for the excellent comparison video. Was always very disappointed at how quickly Jetseal 109 protection seemed to disappear on my car in the UK and this video just proves it.

Great video 👍. Keep up the outstanding work 👏

Man, the more products I see from chemical guys the more disappointed I am about their performance. At least I'm glad I only had to witness it from video tests such as these, thanks for doing all this work man!

Soft 99 Fusso Coat should be on everyone's shelf. Hands down one of the best sealants out there.

Had been considering UL+ for my choice of sealant for this spring (northern hemisphere!) coming up and you just made my decision easier. Every review seems to be very positive on this stuff. Gonna give it a whirl.

For the cost, I conclude, I dont see the value myself in any of these when compared to the cheaper "older tech". I love your thought and presentation process, so concise and you've convinced my mind up for me, based on what I'm seeing with my own eyeballs. (You may remember I said I had my first detail "job" yesterday. I was given an exta day so did two 7hr days. On collection he was blown away. I could write a book on the infomarion I've gleaned over the years that I put to use this weekend. Thanks, your videos are invaluable to me and the highlight to end my weekend while I relax after some good-oldskool hard work. I feel tired but amazing!)

After watching a few videos on Jescar, this made Me order a bottle! Thank You, Sandro for a superb video like always!

This video makes me glad that I decided to skip on Jet Seal a few years ago when I was looking to start building my product arsenal.

I really like M27, so much I bought a gallon after I tried the 16oz. I upkeep it with M799 and it is holding up really well.

Sandro what can i say!!!!!! The reviews are just on point everytime Sandro for prime minister The world would be a much better place for sure Your reviews are always a breath of fresh air In Sandro we trust

Thanks Sandro! I’m still a fan of Beadmaker as a spray, fantastic look and great durability

Awesome video I subbed and liked I’m going to use both mcgueirs wax with a ryobi polisher and the m27 👌😄 I can’t wait to see the results!

Great job, awesome review

Interesting comparison, I'm still a big fan of Wolfgang deep gloss sealant. I know it's out dated but it's still great, especially the SIO2 infused version. I've pretty much stopped using any sealants and just do ceramic coating now. I figure by the time you do all the prep and polishing you may as well spend a few extra dollars and ceramic coat it. Thanks Sandro.

I bought a bottle of Jet seal about 3 - 4 year's ago for $60 Australian dollar's Didn't try it on any paint but did use it on the neighbours headlights to keep the UV oxidation to a minimum. Worked good i found that i was getting about 6 months between application. Before topping up with more

I think this really goes to show spray sealants are best form of sealants in many categories. However I do feel sometimes that these liquid ones can be more enjoyable to work with.

Be great to see some of the other Chemical Guys products to see how they actually stack up now that they are easily available at SCA.

It seems like chemical guys is more of a marketing company than a detail car care company.

Soothing voice of the detailing god 👍

You are a master of detailing 👍👍👍

Lets talk about EASE OF CLEANING. The goal of a good detailer is to clean with as minimal effort as possible to minimize potential damage. This is very important because Why spend all that time "sealing" your paint if your just gonna gonna end up leaving swirls in the paint because excessive force is need to remove contaminates during routine washes? TEST: Sprinkle some dust/dirt on the panel then give a few sprays with water in spraybottle. Let dry so it matts to the paint. Step1: Attempt to hose off to see which sealant releases the most contaminates. Step2: Hit her with a basic foam gun then hose off again to see the results, Step3: Give a wipe with wash mit. (You could do a additional test starting with the Mitt, then let dry and evaluate amount of swirls)

Thank you!

Hey Sandro! Another great product review. With the lineup you had I believed that Jescar would do good. M27 stood strong though and impressed me somewhat. Chemical Guys performed as I expected. I always believed they where and are a over commercialized and overhyped smoke screen. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Cheers to you and the family mate.

Thanks for doing this review, Sandro. I just had a 4 oz bottle of Jet Seal given to me. I think I'll reserve it for exterior glass.

should i use sealant on my finest reserve ceramic coats? will it be effective? help

I had someone who gave me a bottle of jet seal mind you he won paint job of the year at the hawaii car expo. Haven’t tried it yet tho.

I was all over these before but after using Nova Jet, Boost and Lustre for maintenance i haven't touch any of the sealants, their far omre durable and easy to apply and wipe off = Saves me a lot of time

Jescar makes a really wonderful product in near every category.

It's almost obscene and frankly astounding that Jetseal is still on sale given its far from a new product, and others have newer technology and better performance. I really don't see where it would fit into a product range, but then this is CG, and if it sells a bottle, they keep selling it. For a company so hung up on its brand and branding its about time they overhauled the range and dragged it into the 2020s

Hello Sandro from Adelaide 😁 Great work as you always have done and do.... Chemical Guys I have never had a good product from them yet so no surprize there..

Not sure what he means by saying meguiars hybrid ceramic liquid wax has better hydrophobic properties than M-27. The hydrophobic properties displayed in this video were unbelievably amazing abd I did not get that level of beading or sheeting with hybrid ceramic liquid wax. Plus it didn't last very long. This one I believe is better in every single metric. Water behavior depth of color slickness and definitely durability. But im speaking from simple every day use and weekly neutral ph hand washes. Not chemical exposure. Either way fantastic video! Keep up the amazing work!👍🏼

I can confidently say that the two coats applied to my GLI last October(mid) were going strong through February and into March. I lived in an apartment at time of application, and then we began the house buying and moving process. I knew it would be awhile before the next proper car spa weekend so I put a lot of confidence and trust in a product I had never used before. Actually, a manufacturer I had never used before. I applied inside my parking garage, both coats 24 hours apart. I suppose I should note the paint was deconed but due to poor lighting available, not polished. My car is still fairly slick despite the fallout and contaminants that have since clung to the paintwork, but hydrophobicity has degraded over the last few months. I can't report on Ultra Lock Plus+' gloss degradation as I use ONR(regular) for a QD and that certainly keeps the gloss up ok. But in my experience ONR doesn't aid in hydrophobicity, if anything it may degrade it overtime. That said the Jescar held up GREAT through an Ohio winter with, at minimum, five days of commuting on freeways. Great first impression. So great I switched to their polishing system. Jescar won me over. I highly recommend trying one of or multiple of their products if you haven't yet, you won't be disappointed.

Chemical Guys, the worst! I used it in my first application and never did it again! After exploring Meg products, my soul peace and for my car paint. I would like to test CanCoat to take a new step, but right now I am happy with Meg. Thanks, Sandro, greetings from Italy.

I was a big fan of chemical guys products in the past but sadly their quality had reduced a lot and prices have doubled. I tested out Jetseal and even Extreme Top Coat sealant on my own car and found that both were extremely disappointing, 3 washes in a month and it's all done washed away by a simple car soap. Chemical guys are a big joke now with their multiple products stating the Ceramic in them. I do have to say though their car soaps are really good with good foaming action in a foam cannon. I'm Currently using Seal & Shine and looking to try out M27 in the near future. Big thanks for the review though since at times I wondered if I was doing anything wrong with jetseal not performing as stated.

In my experience, nothing beats Soft99 Fusso Coat in terms of long term durability when it comes to sealants.

I usually clay bar then use 3D One compound on my cars in spring and fall (i live in Alaska so the winter really does a number on the exteriors here). In the past I just used normal waxes after the polishing, but never looked into sealants. What would you recommend if you just had to pick one type of product?

For that cost one could step up to NV EVO and be done with it! 😁

Jet Seal appears to be trash from these tests.Spend your money wisely folks and just go with an actual ceramic coating.

I’m located in Melb would you like to do a vid of my car being detailed? I have a i30 sedan cn7 n line 2021

What are misconceptions about sealers? When would I use a sealer and equally when would you not? And what should I expect it to do? I'm ok about about ceramic coatings and wax polishes, but confused about sealants.

this is a great video, but meguiars m27 is a hybrid ceramic sealant, which is why it beads off better when water is applied. where as jet seal is just a sealant with no ceramic properties. misinformation on the products you tested, you need to be testing chemicals guys hydro charge plus ceramic spray, combine with hydro slick ceramic paste, then hydro view for maintenance, then apply a wax. chemical guys has good products, just depends on layers of protection and maintenance. usually a glaze, sealant and wax in that order. for ceramic protection, the steps are what I mentioned earlier, overall depends on preference and your wallet.

Another great video mate 👍how would you rate the maguires against their own NXT sealant?

Maybe butter wet wax and cherry wax from chemical guys could be an idea

Would you be willing to test Meguiars to Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray? I saw another test that showed Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray was the bomb in comparison. Would like to know what you think. ❤

I bought a bottle of Jet Seal back in 2008 and I was very disappoinment with the behevior of this product, the same results you found in this test, in less than a month there was no indication that the product was still on the paint in Mexico City climate and altitude, I can´t belive CG still sells this product what a rip off.

It's just me or Jescar on black panel seems to be a lot of darker than the others?

Sandro, I love your instructional videos. As a suggestion to improve them further, may I ask that you refer to the products tested with one name. Specifically, either refer to the Chemical Guys Jet Seal as "Chemical Guys," as you have transcribed on the panel, or refer to it at "Jet Seal," as you do in your voice over. But mixing the voice-over with the written name on the panel becomes confusing. Again, just a minor critique, intended to help understanding.

I love chemical guys stuff for the interior. The exterior is way overpriced for what it is. A lot of stuff out there that's cheaper, and works a lot better

Would love to see best sheeting products video, sheeting product with the best chem resistance 👍🏻

Also that is strange that you got better water beading with the regular Meguiar's HCLW, as I have the opposite and found M27 to be way more hydrophobic.

Got a deal on jetseal, 50% off + $5 off 2 ChemGuys products. $25 for jet seal and tire kicker was fair enough to remember why Chemical Guys is unanimously hated by the entire community. Not a complete fail as kicker is okay.

I only ever bought one Chemical Guys product. That was Hydro Slick. Holy ####. What a waste of money. I vow never to buy any of their products ever again. If a company puts out such a bad product and charges above premium price, that is borderline criminal.

I use Jescar Ultra Lock + on my boat and actually get around a year out of it.

How do you compare UL and M27 to Meguiars Synthetic Sealant (M21)?

Have you tested out mother’s CMX?? Ceramic coat

Chemical guys puts 90% of their budget on marketing. Learned that the hard way.

I'm currently using m27 but wanna try carpro hydro2 diluted 6 to 1 due to ease of use but in your opinion/experience which one will last longer on a daily driver?

Power lock plus topped with Collinite 845

The new technology has passed jetseal by... Sadly, jetseal was never any good...even a decade ago. Amazing that this junk is $40 at Walmart still. Much better stuff out there for a fraction of the cost...even at Walmart.

Chemical Guys was the most expensive product here....hey, that skull logo isn't free😋 This company is all marketing and I'm surprised they even made the cut here🤔

Can we use them on any clear coat condition,just like liquid wax? Is it the same as ceramic waxes?

This is a difficult one for me as Jescar isn't sold in the UK. Looking on Amazon, it's enormously expensive at around £90. That just isn't feasible when you can buy a good quality true ceramic here for about £50.

I am really at loss, i just want one with best UV protection and durable (on car wash), which product is the best for me? Help..

What’s the best way to use m27 with wax ?

my M27 TURN in to water is still good

Hey sandro which is your favorite paint sealant?

will it cover swirls permanently?

I was hoping power lock Ultra would win.

Chemical guy, after every "test" had less water left on it. It didn't bead up like the other but had less water then any of the other 2 on each side of it.

Can anyone comment on the performance of M27 vs Meguiars older sealant M21?

Chemical Guys is the perfect example of how great marketing can be used to make a company with mediocre products sell like hotcakes at massive margins (since the product is likely cheap). The few of us who are critical thinkers see right through the hype of marketing, whether it's about detailing or not, but the masses eat it all up. That's the whole reason why ceramic coatings are marketed to make your car bulletproof and you're never gonna have to wash it again, cuz it WORKS even though it seems obvious they're stretching the truth at best. With that said, sure, I know there are a FEW good products from chemical guys, but that's the exception, not the rule and they're still and always have been overpriced. I liked their hexlogic pads and the stripper scent car freshener spray. The detailing industry overall is jampacked with smoke & mirrors, specially when it comes to protection products. "This product makes your car SHINY and gives it that just detailed look". Nah, what truly makes the car shiny is polishing off the defects. Sure you might get some temporary enhancement on a hazy/swirled car, but that's gonna be gone in a few washes. On a panel with no defects, you can put whatever coating, wax or sealant and in a blind test, I'm almost certain even a trained eye wouldn't be able to tell which has what. This is assuming all the products applied didn't leave any streaks, holograms, smearing, etc. any film some heavy products leave behind often or just overapplying something leaves behind. I know ya'll will disagree with me which is why I'd LOVE to see a proper blind test done, including a panel that's just bare paint polished to perfection. The test could be something like identical hoods all polished to perfection and one of them has CQUK3.0, another has P21S Carnauba Wax (for that "warm" look!), and the other could have say Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax for that "plastic" look. They could be identical cars instead of hoods, since that would be a better thing to judge. They'd all have to be positioned equally and have identical lighting conditions at the same angles etc. Maybe someone who had say 4 Identical booths. The cars could be moved around to account for light variations in each booth etc. and the person trying to say which is which would not be able to see the process of course, and then they'd have to repeat the judging of saying which they think has what. Nobody's ever gonna do this haha.

I can`t find Jescar Ultra Lock+ anywhere!

Can you add ceramic coating after doing this?

Jetseal up to 12months, in your dreams 6 months lol 3 months if kept indoors , fully prepped jetseal looked great but 3/4 weeks first wash and it was dead and they still priced at £32 so no longer believe in their products

No comparison here jescar by far most superior product, then finish with collinite

Chemical guys offer several products that are pretty much the same thing, they are king when it comes to publicity and presentation but most of their their stuff is not that great. The only products I continue to purchase are their empty bottles and V07.

jescar ftw

Is Chemical guys now worse in quality than Trutle Wax? I'm starting to think so.

Iam from germany and i have a question. What is the sense of the brand CG ? There is absolut NO product that is useful...... Never seen shit like CG before.

Jet seal is trash I love CG but they do release a lot of products that in theory do the same stuff and other products in their line but the odd products they make are strong others don’t perform well

Lets talk about WATER SPOTS. Many people do not dry their vehicles after wash, and/or frequently encounter pollen/dust + light rain that leaves pesky Water Spots. Three comment/questions: 1. Would JETSEAL be better in these situations since it sheds off more completely leaving behind far less beads? 2. An additional test could include wetting the panel then going over it a couple times with leaf blower as that is how many people dry their vehicles. This way you could evaluate which product leaves behind the least water spots. 3. Another test is to intentionally let unfiltered tap water DRY on the panel leaving behind spots. Then an hour later give the panel a spray with quick detailer and wipe to see if the dried spots are easier to remove from one sealant to another. If a sealants "superior beading" ends up with those dried beads etched into the product and difficult to remove then maybe its not so good after all.

Well I’m a bit surprised at the chemical guys sealant as it’s just deflated me entirely… I’ve used chemical guys stuff for a few years now and never thought about it…it seemed to be okay from my experiences, but this has definitely showed me otherwise…I used their wax as a topper over the jet seal …. But this video wasn’t about that…. I’m looking at nova evo as my coating now so I won’t be using jet seal anytime soon anyway….

2nd Barely made it since about to drive to church 😄

Our Shield Paint Sealant will be all the products in this test. 👍

Another CG product that sucks. What a surprise......

Chemical guys should be embarrassed lol

Jescar + Collinite is the bees knees!

Wasnt impressive when i used jet seal.

Chemical Guys 😖

These products are obsolete. You get way more protection and ease of use with just a graphene detail spray. But for those who enjoy wax application Powerlock is the way to go.
